Sparks is newest and fastest growing city in Nevada! It is a well hidden gem! It is a valley with a golf course, shopping, restaurants and schools. Shopping and dining is not as crowed as in Reno, which is a huge plus! The two mountain ridges that stand at the opening of the valley, help protect it from the elements. While we still get the same weather as Reno, it is defiantly milder in Sparks! We even have homes that offer an acre of land in the sought after Bridle Path area that is zoned for horses! You get the best of both worlds in Sparks, the convenience of a mini city mixed with the laid back, country life!
